I had a BCC removed this past summer. It was the first one. What can I expect in the future? Do people usually get another one within so long?

My best advice to you is to continue follow-up check ups with your doctor, wear sunscreen, and avoid sun overexposure as much as possible. Self checks are also important. I am sharing a couple of links about self exams you might find useful.

Yes guys ... cancer is insanely scary. To be honest, when I found out about my terrible illness, I fell into a very deep depression. It seemed to me that the whole world around had stopped.
